Congresswoman fights proposed SNAP rule change

5th District Congresswoman Jahana Hayes is renewing her call to stop changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.  She says the proposed rule makes it harder for states like Connecticut to get work requirement waivers in areas with consistently above-average unemployment.  Hayes added that it also removes the ability to ensure residents can put food on the table while continuing their job search.  If this change goes into effect, she notes that the 22 towns currently using these waivers in the District will see them disappear. Connecticut could lose over $41 million per year in direct benefits.
